Mariah Stewart

Maggie, Emma e Liddy sono cresciute insieme a Wyndham Beach, in Massachusetts. Sono amiche inseparabili da sempre: insieme hanno trascorso giornate intere a confidarsi gioie e dolori, si sono scambiate vestiti e rossetti, hanno cantato a squarciagola ai concerti, superato momenti difficili sostenendosi a vicenda, ciascuna sapendo di poter trovare sempre la mano delle altre poco distante. Insieme, come onde dello stesso mare. Eppure c’è un segreto che Maggie non ha mai rivelato a nessuno, nemmeno a loro. Risale a tanti anni prima, a quando era molto giovane e a malapena riusciva a dirlo a se stessa. Semplicemente, per sopravvivere, aveva dovuto andare oltre: nuova città, lavoro, matrimonio, figli..

Sono passati quattro anni da quando il mondo di Liddy è andato in frantumi, lasciandola sola con una montagna di domande senza risposta. Ma oggi finalmente si sente come quegli oggetti di ceramica rotti e rimessi insieme con crepe d’oro: non più intatti, ma ancora interi, forse anche più preziosi. Il suo collante d’oro sono le sue meravigliose amiche Maggie ed Emma: senza di loro semplicemente non ce l’avrebbe fatta. Si guarda intorno nella vecchia libreria di Wyndham Beach che ha appena rilevato, quella dove portava quasi ogni giorno sua figlia Jessie da bambina. Ha molto in comune con quel posto: anche per lei, come per quegli scaffali impolverati, è giunto il momento di lasciare entrare nuova luce e di ripartire. Grazie ai mille aiuti silenziosi che solo le vere amiche sanno darti, forse ora si sente pronta a fare i conti con i segreti del passato, e persino a riaprire il cuore.

Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel is the twelfth studio album by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey. It was released on September 25, 2009 by Island Records. After promotion for her previous album, E=MC² (2008) ended, Carey began to work on a new album, producing songs with Terius "The-Dream" Nash and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, and revealed the album's title through Twitter. Carey said that Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel would have "big ballads", and that "each song is its own snapshot of a moment in a story".

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American R&B singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. She made her recording debut in 1990 under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, and became the first recording artist to have her first five singles top the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993, a series of hit records established her position as Columbia's highest-selling act. According to Billboard magazine, she was the most successful artist of the 1990s in the United States. Following her separation from Mottola in 1997, Carey introduced elements of hip hop into her album work, to much initial success, but her popularity was in decline when she left Columbia in 2001. She signed to Virgin Records but was paid to leave the label the following year after a highly publicized physical and emotional breakdown, as well as the poor reception given to Glitter, her film and soundtrack project. In 2002, Carey signed with Island Records, and after a relatively unsuccessful period, she returned to the top of pop music in 2005. Carey was named the best-selling female pop artist of the millennium at the 2000 World Music Awards.[6] She has the most number-one singles for a solo artist in the United States (eighteen; second artist overall behind The Beatles), where, according to the Recording Industry Association of America, she is one of the best-selling female artists and sixteenth overall recording artist. In addition to her commercial accomplishments, Carey has earned five Grammy Awards, and is well-known for her vocal range, power, melismatic style, and use of the whistle register. She is ranked as the best-selling female artist of the U.S. Nielsen SoundScan era (third-best-selling artist overall), with shipments of over 62.5 million albums in the U.S. and has sold more than 200 million albums worldwide.

"Obsessed" is a song performed by American pop/contemporary R&B singer Mariah Carey, from her 12th studio album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. The song, produced and written by Carey, The-Dream and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, was released to US radio on June 16, 2009 as the first single from the album which is scheduled for a September 29, 2009 release. In July the single debuted at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 making it Carey's highest chart debut since 1998, and has so far peaked at number 7. So far the single has reached number 15 in Canada, 13 in Australia and 16 in Japan with further releases scheduled in August 2009.

"Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse" is singer songwriter Mariah Carey's fourteenth studio album. The album title originally called "The Art of Letting Go", is based upon a self-portrait Carey drew when she was a child. It is supposed to symbolize how she saw herself, with the purity of a child's heart before it was ever broken. Me. I Am Mariah features artists Nas, Miguel, Wale and Fabulous, as well as Mariah's twins Morroccan and Monroe. This deluxe version also features appearances by Mary J. Blige and R. Kelly performing songs from Carey's previous album Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. The album produced three singles, including "Beautiful", "The Art of Letting Go" and "You're Mine (Eternal)".
